Having listened to a number of podiobooks, it seemed to me that perhaps this might be a fun thing to become involved with. And the truth of the matter is that it is a lot of fun - and also a lot of work!

Casting was an interesting time - casting couch, floppy hats and silk scarves all over the place... Then organising everyone to record their dialogue - no two people recorded dialogue at the same time! Some not even on the same continent, let alone country. I spent several hours at the MagnaTune.com web site, listening to music and eventually whittled a fairly extensive list down to half a dozen tracks. There then followed more nights than I care to remember downloading sound effects from a number of web sites...

Putting it all together is an awful lot of fun though, not that recording the character dialogue hasn't been fun - if everyone who's recorded dialogue agrees, I'll put together a "bloopers" reel.

I've also relied heavily on a good friend - Martyn_Lycett - who has kindly given invaluable advise and assistance with regard to audio processing. I also MUST thank Peter Sharpe for generously allowing me to use his art work for the cover. Only half of the image appears as the cover of each episodes, due to size constraints, however the full image can be seen at the top of this little piece. Peter's work can be found on line here.

And finally... the cast, without whom, none of this would have been possible!
